Safe As Milk

You don’t need me to tell you more about how I love this band.

I’ve covered it.

Often.

RFTC R.I.P. is a recording of their farewell concert from Halloween 2005. I wouldn’t say it’s the band in top form, since they hadn’t toured for a while before this show, but it’s clear from the recording that they were having a good time and that the crowd was deep into it as well.

“Boychucker” is a cornerstone of the RFTC catalog. Killer stop/starts build and release tension and culminate in Speedo’s Florida Declaration at about the 2:20 mark. It’s classic stuff.

This album, like most live albums, is really for the diehard fans of the band. If you don’t know anything about these guys you would be much better served to start somewhere in the rest of their catalog
